"She's fit!"....Neil Speaight says as a picture comes up on the telly, as I turn and the camera cuts back to the sofa on 'This Morning' its only Sonya from Eastenders. If you don't know who I am talking about she was the little porker that played the trumpet in the BBC soap.

So my week has gone well so far, sp8y as made himself at home and is currently spread eagle on the sofa having stuffed his face with food yet again (food bill has gone up ten fold since Monday) but as the training has increased this week he takes longer and longer to get down the stairs now the wrong side of 30!

Last night we did a session on the track of 8x1k with James Thie and Chris Higgs helping out on a very windy night on Neath track, which was much appreciated. It was filmed so hopefully in the near future you will be able to see exactly what happened but before Sp8y rips me to bits I will admit he took me to town on the last rep! My breathing was fine but think the miles are starting to sink in as I couldn't quite pick it up when he was increasing the pace, I managed to just about hold on in the other reps but the dig on the last 'K' was to much (2.44) and I went out the back door but still keeping on top of the session with a 2.51 last rep. It was a tough old session in a swirling wind but it went quite well I though as I was really sure what to expect.

It's my biggest mileage week (if I get to Sunday alright) so my legs are a bit tired to be honest and another hour run this morning over the mountain wasn't easy! Obviously with someone else it's always easier to get out the door but 10mins in the 25minute climb last night was haunting me a bit.

I have agreed to do the Manchester 10k next weekend to break the block up a bit but wont ease up at all but with such a good field each year I should get dragged around for a good session if nothing else.

I will update on Sunday with the actual weeks training but its back to wrestling now!! After reading some of Bret 'Hitman' Hart book yesterday me and sp8y watched the famous match against British Bulldog. As we have the afternoon off we are engrossed in the ultimate wrestling match in the history with Hulk Vs Ultimate Warrior. Those were the days......what has happened to wrestling!
